Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Easy to drive, being an auto, it's very smooth and very quiet for a diesel' too. There's good all round vision and the driver's seat is height adjustable, especially if you're a little short in stature.
What's it like to park?
Easy, with having good all-round vision and the added parking sensors are a real boon....

Good all round family car, plenty of space inside the cabin and a spacious boot.
